I wish I was a lady falling down
So you can come and pick me off the ground
So you could come and tell me it’s ok
So you could come and show me the right way
I wish I had nothing in my head so you could come and tell me what’s been said
You say everybody knows I’ve been bad
And I should go on go on
But I
I’m just a bit too bright I’m holding on too tight
And you’re a leaf blowing beside me
Yes I pretend to fall down
So you could have my crown
So you could come and save me.
I wish I had my body just for you
I wish I had my mind just for you
I wish I had my heart just for you
But that’s not true not true
You want to play with me that’s ok
Don’t forget I taught people how to play
You want to teach a singer how to sing
Do you really want to pull on that string.
But I
I’m just a bit too bright I’m holding on too tight
And you’re a leaf blowing beside me
Yes I pretend to fall down
So you could have my crown
So you could come and save me

Janis Joplin has been my muse since I was a child. She inspired me to start making my own music. You are the first woman who genuinely reminds me of her. Love your lyrics and your melodies, how you put your entire body and soul into the music. You're a wonderful inspiration! Noya Glick
